Drawing on data collected from over 8,000 millennial women in
Australia, this book proposes a new theory of women's sexual
identity that accounts for various sociocultural, historical, and
interactional factors that inform women's sexualities. The author
provides a new model for understanding changes in sexual identity
among women. Each new chapter focuses on a new aspect of their
model: the contemporary context in which women are navigating
sexual identities; sexual landscapes and the degree of
heteronormativity that characterizes various sexual landscapes;
experiences of sexual violence and their potential associations
with the sexual trajectories of women; and the potential health and
wellbeing implications of changes in sexual identity. Taken as a
whole, this text challenges the essentialist framing of the
"species" narrative in favor of a more nuanced and socially
situated analysis of women's sexualities throughout the life
course. This monograph will be of interest to scholars and students
in sociology, gender and sexuality studies, and psychology.
